Parenting a child who has a burning desire to win matches is much more complex.

I also know former national champions that were pushed so hard by their parents that they turned to drugs and crime. Two of them are serving life sentences, and their crimes were the manifestation of the frustration they experienced in junior tennis, most of which came from overly ambitious expectations placed on them by their parents. These players made their own decisions and are responsible for their actions, but their parents set them on a collision course at an early age. Being a competent junior tennis parent is an important job that will impact your child for the rest of his/her life.
